EBU: the qualifiers announcement will remain the same!

The EBU together with BBC have made an important announcement regarding the proposed new system to announce the semifinal qualifiers:

“After trying a new system of presenting the qualifying countries in Dress Rehearsal 1 of the First Semi-Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 it was decided by the production team to revert back to the previous reveal sequence used in recent years with artists learning whether they will progress to the Grand Final together with their delegations in the Green Room. Whilst this change will not now be implemented this year there are other innovations in the show for viewers to look forward to.”

During the First Dress Rehearsal the EBU and the broadcaster tried to introduce a new system to present the qualifiers.  However, the system was not positively received.
